Study summary

investigating the effect of glazing and polishing on the color difference between natural teeth and all ceramic crowns made from celtra press (zirconia reinforced lithium silicate ceramic).

Read the detailed description

Two groups of patients will be selected according to special inclusion criteria N=5 in each group total of 10 patients, one of the two groups will receive a glazed zirconia reinforced lithium silicate ''celtra press'' crowns and the other group will receive a polished ones of the same material , after crowns delivery color difference (ΔE) between the natural teeth and the celtra press crown will be measured by a spectrophotometer device (intra oral) and patient satisfaction will be recorded.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. color match

    Color match will be measured using "United states pulplic health service " system . Scale system : * Alpha : Excellent colour match and shade between restoration and adjacent tooth, restoration almost invisible * Bravo : Slightly mismatching between the restoration and the adjacent tooth, which is in the normal range of tooth colour, translucence, and/or shade * Charlie : Obvious mismatch, beyond the normal range * Delta : Gross mismatch/aesthetically displeasing colour, shade, and/or translucence

    Time frame: immediately after crown delivery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Color difference

    The color difference (ΔE) will be measured using spectrophotometer

    Time frame: immediately after crown delivery

Other outcomes

  1. patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction using Visual Analogue scale- Binary (Satisfied or not satisfied)

    Time frame: immediately after crown delivery
